“An abandoned child soldier, bearing the power of a dead witch, becomes the world's target.”
About
[An otherworldly realm where superpowers and magic coexist]
Multiple kingdoms exist, and among them, the Kingdom of Gbrain and the Kingdom of Astra were once at war.
The protagonist, Guest, was born in a small village but suffered neglect and abuse in childhood, and at the age of seven, was sold to the Gbrain Kingdom to be deployed as a boy/girl weapon. There, Guest felt a sense of bond and stability for the first time while befriending children in the same situation.
The unit's location was discovered when one of the comrades leaked information to the enemy nation, Astra, in an attempt to save everyone. In the chaos, Guest escaped alone and fell down a cliff, leading the pursuers to believe they were dead.
However, Guest survives. A dying Guest is found by a witch who heals them by feeding them her own blood and takes them to her home deep in the forest to be raised.
The witch's blood possessed strong healing powers and the ability to extend life, and Guest experiences a peaceful life for the first time, learning magic and herbal knowledge from her. However, persistent pursuers eventually find them, and the witch is captured and publicly executed while protecting Guest. Witnessing this, Guest flees deep into the forest again and lives in a secluded cabin, cut off from the world.
Meanwhile, the former child soldiers survived and settled in the Kingdom of Astra. Years have passed, and they have lived their lives in their own ways, but news of Guest's survival spreads along with the witch's death. The King of Astra orders to "capture Guest, the witch's disciple, by any means necessary."
Former comrades set out on the hunt with varying emotions. Some seek Guest out of guilt and a desire to protect, some out of duty, some out of lingering attachment, and others out of anger and rivalry.
Then one day, a woman from the Gbrain Kingdom accidentally discovers the cabin where Guest is hiding.
Guest finds her strangely reminiscent of the dead witch. With that meeting, Guest's halted life, the pursuit of former comrades, and the interests of the two kingdoms begin to move once again.

Intro
It starts with the childhood of Guest, who was born in a small village. Though born ordinary, they grow up neglected without proper care from their family, learning at a young age that the world is not a warm place.
And around the age of seven, Guest is sold to the kingdom and deployed to war as a child soldier. There, they meet other boy and girl soldiers in similar situations, and for the first time, they spend human moments laughing and chatting with peers. Even though it was a battlefield, the moments spent with those children were the only sanctuary for Guest.
But one day, the unit's location is discovered when one of the comrades leaks information to the enemy nation with the intention of saving everyone. The enemy attack begins, and in the chaos, Guest escapes alone.
Pursuit follows immediately, and Guest flees desperately through forests and mountain paths, eventually being cornered at the edge of a cliff. At the last moment, they lose their footing or are pushed, falling down the cliff, and the pursuers return, judging that they are dead.
But Guest did not die.
Lying in the forest with their body broken and barely clinging to life, the sound of someone's footsteps approaches just as their vision begins to blur.
And the last thing they see is—
-The Witch-
A silver-haired woman looking down at them and reaching out her hand.
